She came from Geegaw she had a thirst for knowledge,
She stood by gizmos within airplane wreckage,
That's where I caught her eye.
She told me that her Dad had bought it,
I said 'would you care for a koo-koo kola?'
She said 'fine' and then in thirty seconds time she said...

I want to live like chipmunk people,
I want to do whatever chipmunk people do,
I want to sleep with chipmunk people,
I want to sleep with chipmunk people like you.
Well what else could I do?
I said 'We'll see what we can do.'

She took us to the Southern Arctic
I don't why but we had to start it somewhere,
So it started there.
I said 'pretend that you're an utter loony',
She just twitched and said 'This ain't no movie!'
I said 'Well, it's either that or we go to hell.'

Are you sure you want to live like chipmunk people
You want to see whatever chipmunk people see
You want to eat with chipmunk people,
You want to live with chipmunks in an old oak tree?
But she didn't understand,
She just held up a furry hand.

Build a craft to get us up,
We've got to help a lot.
Don't smoke fags and don't play pool,
Pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right
'Cos when you've inventing things at night
Counting sprockets on the wall,
You'll never have an intellect as small.

You'll never live like chipmunk people
You'll never do what chipmunk people do
You'll never rest like chipmunk people
You'll always have a very high IQ,
And you build and think and screw
Because there's nothing else for you.

Tag along with the chipmunk people,
Tag along and maybe you will see
Why when you're with chipmunk people
You seldom join us on the seatee and watch TV.
But she didn't comprehend
'Cos I was born in a chestnut tree, a chestnut tree!
Oh yeah!
